General Comments

Final Fantasy 9 is possibly the best game ever made. Having completed 100% of the game, my immediate reaction was that this game is better than its predecessors, though final fantasy 7 is also a superb game, and only the graphics let down final fantasy 5 and prevent that being my all time favourite game. the experience system is similar to that of final fantasy 4, but the accesibility of the system makes it superior to ff4's. the characters have great depth, and unlocking the secrets feels a great accomplishment. At over 70 hours gameplay, this lasts ages/ the only downer is that even 3 years after its release, it is still the most expensive playstation game available

    I don't know what you people are thinking, but Final Fantasy 9 sucks. Don't get me wrong I like a lot of the Final Fantasy games, but I haven't played anything as horrible as FF9. Yeah, the graphics a good, but so what! Graphics do not make a good game. You need a good storyline and playability, etc. If I find a good game I'm not really concerned about the graphics that much. I like the graphics to be awesome, but if the other parts of the game are good I could care less. FF9's story line is alright, I'll give it that. When you consider its playability though, that game is garbage. The items suck. They hardly even heal you enough if you have taken much damage. There are only two people in the game that can use healing magic and it still doesn't help that much. There is only one person that can use attack magic except for Steiner. It is even hard to get money on that game. I guess the abilities you can learn are alright also, but still for you to say that that game is possibly the best, is like blasphemy. I have played a lot of games and this one is excruciating for me to play. There isn't even any attack items to use for the people who don't have magic. The boss battles are kind of tough too. How are you going to win against hard bosses when the items suck that bad and the healing magic. The attack magic is pretty strong, but anyone that has magic their hp sucks as well as their basic stats. I hate to say this stuff about a Final Fantasy game, but it has to be said. I really hate to say this, but Legend of Dragoon is better than this game. I know most of you have probably played it and when I say something like that than this game must be bad. I severely do not recommend this game.
